I don't care about beeper one way or another, but that bloody image with the post, it needs to die in a fire.

Tonight I decided to try jack-in-the-box for the first time... in c/casualconversation@lemmy.world

I will never claim they are authentic, or even great, but I will destroy the 2 for a buck tacos.

ELI5 how to setup kbin using docker in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] SFaulken@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, so it looks like I'm going to have to do a bit of jiggery pokery, as I don't need caddy, I've already got an nginx reverse proxy running on the host. (I think they both provide similar functionality?)

Hot Damn, thanks. That should get me headed in the right direction anyway.

ELI5 how to setup kbin using docker (kbin.social)
 

So does anybody have a walkthrough on how to set this beastie up? I'm not unfamiliar with docker and containers (I have personal Mastodon, Nextcloud, and Synapse Instances running via docker-compose)

Sort of where I'm stuck right now is what I need to change in the .env file, per the instructions here:

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core.git kbin
$ cd kbin
$ mkdir public/media
$ sudo chown 82:82 public/media
$ sudo chown 82:82 var
$ cp .env.example .env
$ vi .env # esc + !q + enter to exit
or
$ nano .env

Make sure you have substituted all the passwords and configured the basic services in .env file.

(yes, I know it's somewhat commented, but it's not exactly super clear) and also how to handle building it in a non-local configuration (my VPS is elsewhere, so going to kbin.localhost to do anything isn't really going to work)

So yeah, ELI5.

All programs should tell you where they store config files in c/technology@beehaw.org

I mean, that's sort of what xdg is intended to accomplish, with making $HOME/.config be the place, but it's kind of up to the individual software developers to comply. (Yes, I know, this doesn't really apply to Windows/Mac OS) But yeah, it would really be nice if configs/config locations were even remotely standardized.

Immutable Operating Systems: Yay or Nay? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] SFaulken@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've been daily driving openSUSE Aeon/Kalpa for the better part of two years now. I don't see any good reason to return to a traditional distribution for a desktop machine. I very much know what I'm doing as a linux user/admin, having been using it for years, and the no-fuss/no-hassle nature of an immutable system is exactly what I want for my workstations. And ultimately my servers.
